- Pellets: Tiny, rice-sized implants inserted under the skin (usually hip or buttocks) that release a consistent dose of hormones over 3–6 months, bypassing the liver and avoiding daily application.
- Creams: Topically applied daily, often used for estrogen or progesterone to balance moods and alleviate dryness.
- Troches: Lozenges that dissolve between the cheek and gum, allowing medication to be absorbed directly through the oral mucosa.
- Other Methods: Pills, patches, and gels are also used depending on user preference.
